AOSP browser and lockscreen

Hey,

Today, I noticed the following beahavior, and I would like to know if its just me or if its a general issue before opening something on jira.

It seems like you cannot open the stock browser from the lockscreen if it has been closed (!) before.

If it was minimized before, all works fine.

If it was closed, it does not start from the lockscreen.

Steps to reproduce:

- open the AOSP browser and minimize it using the home button

- configure the AOSP browser as a lockscreen application (see screenshot 1)

- start it from the lockscreen -> it works

- close the AOSP browser (NOT minimize it, CLOSE it), e.g. ny closing the last tab using the pie controls (see screenshot 2)

- try to start it from the lockscreen -> the phone unlocks, but the browser doesn't come up

I'm on nightly 130719. If anyone else can reproduce it, I'll grab a logcat and post it on jira.
[Nexus 4 General] Chochiwpg:
I'm on the 24th Nightly and I did as you suggested and whether the AOSP browser is minimized or completely closed I am able to access from a lockscreen shortcut without issue. I tried multiple times and everytime the browser came up.

Maybe try a newer nightly and see if it fixes the issue for you.
[Nexus 4 General] c00ller:
Has anyone tried connecting to 5 GHz Wi-Fi network on the 24th nightly? Two users reported it wasn't working in the 23rd or very recent nightlies.
[Nexus 4 General] slapheady:
Confirmed!

I've been seeing this for around a month, maybe more... But never worked out the reason - just thought that occasionally it crashed for some reason!
[Nexus 4 General] muff99:
Hi,

Thanks for taking the time to test this. I just flashed todays nightly, it shows up as 20130724 in the settings, but I can still reproduce it:

- I close the last tab with the pie control

- I hit the power-off button, screen goes dark

- I hit it again, lockscreen comes up

- I select the browser, my phone unlocks, but the browser does not start

No other kernel involved, stock nightly from today.

I just captured a logcat .. I'm no expert in this, but I see this:

07-24 16:08:52.586 I/ActivityManager(587): START u0 {act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.LAUNCHER] flg=0x34000000 cmp=com.android.browser/.BrowserActivity} from pid 587

07-24 16:08:52.727 W/InputMethodManagerService(587): Window already focused, ignoring focus gain of: com.android.internal.view.IInputMethodClient$Stub$Proxy@41c87910 attribute=android.view.inputmethod.EditorInfo@42875c60, token = android.os.BinderProxy@41b396b0

07-24 16:08:53.147 V/TAG (587): bug 7643792: fitSystemWindows([0,50][0,0])

What I get from this: My wish to start the browser is recognized, a process is created (pid 587), but then the display of the window is ignored (because it is already focused???).

To me, this clearly seems like a bug, perhaps in the way the pie controls "close" the browser (perhaps just hiding the windows?) ... but I'm wondering why its only on my device, and not on yours ...

Regards

Freddi

Still not working for me. If I'm not connected to any network it can see the 5ghz access points but if I try to connect to it, or am connected to a 2.4ghz network, they disappear.
[Nexus 4 General] Chochiwpg:
You know what, using the pie control to close the last tab and then access it through lock screen shortcut the same thing happens to me as well. Unlocks the device but doesn't go to the browser. If I turn off pie control and close the last tab the general method, lock the device, turn it on and then try to access the shortcut the same thing happens as well. The screen unlocks but doesn't bring up the browser.

However, if you have the browser open, then you go to the click the recent apps button and close the browser, lock your device, then use the slider shortcut to access the browser it works.

It looks like an issue by closing the last tab and then accessing the slider shortcut. If you manually close the app from recent app menu you can access it through lockscreen shortcut.
[Nexus 4 General] muff99:
Yes, the "closing tabs" seems to be the cause of this. It even works on a freshly rebooted system = no browser open before.

Thanks for the support, I opened a jira issue regarding this: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-1795

Now I hope one of the devs is able to reproduce it.

Greetings

3G doesnt work

Hey guys,

I was running Cyanogenmod 10.1.2 Nightlies. I could recieve calls and web browse through WiFi but absolutely no 3G. At first i thought it had to do with my Service provider but then i flashed the stock Rom while rooted and no problems. Anyway, It would be nice if you could fix it since cyanogenmod is so good. Thanks

Slow wifi spped

I am using cm-10.1.2-mako.zip and wifi speed is around 2MByte/sec. 2,4GHz or 5GHz does not make much difference.

I tested downloading a 200MB zip file from my NAS which is connected to a wifi-router:

Notebook (5Ghz) -> 13 MByte/sec

Notebook (2,4Ghz) -> 9 MByte/sec

Nexus 4 (5GHz) -> 2,2 MByte/sec

Nexus 4 (2,4GHz) -> 1,7 MByte/sec

Is there some way to make things faster?

Try dirty flashing the rom again, without franco kernel, does it still fc? Have you tried clearing app data?

Use this guide, efrant has made a very thorough and easy to follow steps by steps. And you can flash the latest 4.3 too. Toolkits can be unreliable at times.

back to cm10.1, got bored of stock 4.3 after 20 min use , battery life was disgusting compare to cm.
[Nexus 4 General] Daniel_GT:
How can you possibly accurately judge battery life after 20 minutes?!
[Nexus 4 General] Mikulec:
magic and prophesying :good:
[Nexus 4 General] willybarca:

there is this thing called battery indicator, u can look at the clock in status bar and the battery percentage, and see how fast it drops.

believe me i have been flashing since 2010 i know what iam saying, but its obvious why stock has ****ty battery life, because of stability.

in the end nothing beats cm for me,
[Nexus 4 General] kalpik:
It takes a couple of hours for a new ROM/kernel to settle in..
[Nexus 4 General] Mikulec:
The thing is that the battery need to "settle" after flashing new rom. It takes at least one full cycle (charge-discharge-charge) to see the real battery performace. Besides that, all other people have possitive reviews on the battery in 4.3
[Nexus 4 General] willybarca:
thats bull, of course battery should be better than the old version, its an update after all. but for me i want huge battery life because of my work. maybe for u 3 hour screen time is enough, but i need 5 and some times 6 hours. u can try to squeeze any rom to that extend, good luck with that , with cm its fluid and battery efficiency whereas with stock its more toward fluidity .

stuck at google logo

I need your help...

I tried a flashable 4.3 stock and the first boot was fine, but after reboot the phone hangs on google logo. So i decided to go into recovery and restored my cm backub, this fails on data partition restore. I wiped everything except the internal storage, installed cm 10.1.2 stable but still hangs on google logo. I am able to boot into recovery and bootloader (4.2.2 version).

Any idias pls? Is there any way to copy my internal storage from fastboot/ recovery, or flash a factory image without loosing my internal storage?
[Nexus 4 General] rickbosch:
Here you go. Just flash the partitions, NOT USERDATA, via Fastboot. Userdata is your SDcard, and if you flash that partition, it will be wiped.

I use the pie control but i known shots. Please improve the optimization for the drawer menu with and without pie control, becouse also without pie control the drawer go shots in some situation. For example when i awake the phone or when i go in drawer also tap on widget after application and after scroll i see shots. Also when i close an application and come in home screen, when the animation start by the angle of the screen is glitching.

This with all version of cyanogen and with stock or custom kernel. Now i have cm 10.1.2 stable with stock kernel. I thought the blame was of the custom kernel but now i think the blame is the optimization of launcher .

Thanks
[Nexus 4 General] willybarca:
i understand what u saying, i heard that million of times but only in forums like this, saying to charge and discharge after flash to settle the battery, but after flashing cm, instantly i see double battery life , does that mean battery settles very good in cm rom .. do batteries like specific roms or something?
[Nexus 4 General] ceejay83:
So you should know that after booting, media scanner is running which drains battery. Since you've been flashing for awhile now.
[Nexus 4 General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Wow. Statements like these make me wonder what's the age level of users here and their general maturity.... It's like the 10 year old kids running around on XBox Live screaming their heads off.

From a technical perspective, I'm not even sure how this makes sense. You realize that CyanogenMod in general doesn't deviate far from the stock kernel. There are a few commits here and there, but its not a major change. I realize you're comparing against 4.3, but even 10.1 versus 4.2.2 should be very similar. I can't think of anything in CM that would make the OS more fluid or better in battery life. It's just a bunch of placebo people make up. Unless you're running something specifically to target battery life (i.e. Greenify), CM is effectively AOSP with some extra features.

Furthermore, as other users said how can you judge long term battery life in 20 minutes? It's pretty obvious you spent those 20 minutes exploring new features in 4.3. Wouldn't you expect additional battery drain? Furthermore, stop quoting SOT. Anyone with a bit more knowledge than a dumb blind user would know that SOT isn't even a good benchmark. You can't compare SOT because its not a controlled experiment. I highly doubt you ran some controlled experiment doing the same tasks on CM 10.1 as you did on 4.3 to actually compare 4.3. And 20 minutes? That's nothing. That's like saying you walked into a restaurant and smelled the food and determined the food sucks because the McDonalds next door smells better. Uhh ok. Not only is that a terrible judge of food, its not a thorough evaluation.

The 10.2 branches don't even build yet, so it'll be a bit for them to get everything sorted and squash the bugs, no sense in being impatient and getting a buggy ROM, the longer it takes them to get it working the more solid it will be out of the gate.

I just have to interject that this concept makes no sense to me. Unless the OS has some adaptive performance features, such as stretching, I don't see why people say mention a break in period. It isn't like the hardware has to warm up to the idea of performing if/then statements. It doesn't need to stretch first. Perhaps a minute or so to complete a boot process whereby startup services subside but not a half day of contemplation about how it's going to handle being a phone.

I don't know how much if any adaptive functions there are in the Linux kernel but, if so, not much out of the box.
[Nexus 4 General] inimaitimepass:
Yes, the new auto complete future is so elegantly implemented. :good:
[Nexus 4 General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Every reboot, your OS has to reload some stuff. But honestly it's not a big deal. OSes don't settle in like people do. It's kinda funny how people say a lot of things with very little objective evidence.
[Nexus 4 General] thracemerin:
There is a certain quirkiness to the android battery reporting system that can cause it to appear to drain more on some cycles than others, this seems to happen more if you flash a new ROM when your battery isn't full, but its simply a reporting issue not actual increased drain. This situation is the reason for the common misconception that you need to have a few charge cycles on your battery after installing a new ROM to get accurate battery statistics.
[Nexus 4 General] bsamardzhiev:
Strange thins happened to me. In Wednesday i put out my phone out of the pocket and saw that the torch was on, when I unlocked the phone there were plenty of apps opened.. So I was keep on tapping back key for about 10seconds. I thought something happened in my pocket. But this morning it was in charge when I unlocked it there was the same problem many apps were opened. Someone's with changed settings. Anyone with similar problem?
[Nexus 4 General] Andre_Vitto:
Damn.. It happens to me as well.. I was under the impression that my cat ran over my phone starting the apps.. It also happens in my pocket when I set my screen time to some high value and forget to lock the screen before i put it in my pocket..

[Nexus 4 General] jawz101:
That makes sense. I never regarded the battery usage screen in Android with any credence. And I purposely don't use battery percentages show on the statusbar.

That alone immediately took away the focus on battery. I really encourage cyanogenmod get rid of that statusbar preference.

For those with random apps opening, what nightly are you running? What kernel are you running? What apps was opened? I'm trying to see if it could be the SELinux misbehaving.

Lately I've been seeing the empty "recent apps" screen showing when I pressed the back button to shut Waze down. I haven't isolated the pattern but will report when I do. Anyone else seen this?
[Nexus 4 General] bsamardzhiev:
I am on 1907 nightly with franco kernel, but that happened and on the stable version which i changed because of the home button stop workibg. I am sure that the torch was on many of the quick settings toggles were pressed, light flow was opened on chinese...:) whastapp was opened. There were and another apps but i can't remember because quickly was tapping on back button :) If there is next time i will tell you.
[Nexus 4 General] Fr33L4nc3r:
I've also got the empty "recent apps" after you exit a process (and I'm using Waze too, but I don't think it occurs only with this particular app, ie XDA app too).

I thought it happened when you launched the app from "normal" recent app and then close it with back button, but I can't reproduce it now either.
[Nexus 4 General] bsamardzhiev:
I don't have waze and didn't know for what is :)
[Nexus 4 General] pmorrsn:
I am running the stable release 1.2 and have seen random apps open, but this only happens when my launcher is updated, as far as I can tell and occurred on my old LG G2X, so associated it with that. once I touch home, it behaves normally, or as expected.
[Nexus 4 General] bedtime_with_the_bear:
Try this:

1. Open recent apps

2. Keeping recent apps open, open another app in some other way - easiest way is to open a notification

3. ???

4. Exit the new app with the back key

4. Profit!

It doesn't always do it, but every single time I've noticed a blank recent apps has been when I've opened an app outside of recent apps without dismissing it first.
[Nexus 4 General] Fr33L4nc3r:
Thanks for this step by step.

Didn't work with an SMS, but it works each time if I open Recent Apps, expand QS, click on Settings, and then hit back

Hi, I had since february Nexus 4 stock rom 4.2.2 and I had no problems staying connected at my home wifi. Now since days ago when I installed CM 10.2.1 stable version I have too much usage with Android OS ONLY when connected to Wifi (and I usually only connect to my home wifi). I didn't do any change of my home wifi (not change of router, SSID, or anything), and I had no problems with stock 4.2.2 as I said.

I saw with betterbatterystats the wakelocks and I din't found anything suspect (well, I can't see kernel wakelocks because of franco kernel, I posted in their thread).

I know some other cases with the exact problem, one of them restored android with another rom and solved the problem. Has anyone encountered this problem? I searched "android os" in this thread and din't find anything interesting.
[Nexus 4 General] ceejay83:
you probably should post this in the official cm thread
[Nexus 4 General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Agree. That's why when I hear people talking about how battery life dropped 1% over 12 hours while sleeping, I know its just a battery reporting bug. How can anyone take 1% battery drop and extrapolate for the remaining 99%? It's just not enough data. I guarantee you that the 1% drop will be complemented by a 5-6% drop later at a much faster rate.

That's why I've always encouraged people to do longer run battery tests, like runnign the battery from 100 down to 20% or something with an objective test.

I'm tired of people talking about battery with limited data, comparing apples and oranges, etc. It might give a general overview with SOT times, but I don't think its enough for someone to say Nightly A > Nightly B in battery life.

Yeah, v1.43 used the hack thingy and had the 100% cpu spike bug, 1.44 fixed it and 1.45 had further fixes and is working properly now on all 4.3 builds, but I'm not sure if it's still the same 'hacky' method or not. The easy way for CM is to remove the commits that affect this but that's no fun.
[Nexus 4 General] CMNein:
I haven't seen any news on a more elegant approach to SU yet. Still 12000 G+ posts behind though.
[Nexus 4 General] thracemerin:
Well, the commits prevent apps from doing things you might not want them to do and since root access is something Google thinks you wouldn't want your apps doing they blocked is as part off everything else, now you can say that if you're rooted you open yourself up to apps doing malicious things anyway and that's true, but you have to acknowledge that you know they are doing it whereas if they have direct access you may not know until a Nigerian prince has taken all your money.
